The therapeutical use of bronchial fibroscopy is very promising. Already today it is much used in postsurgery atelectasies by obstruction or in suppurative atelectasies related to important infectious foci. It considerably improves the bronchial clearing previously done by blind aspiration or bronchoscopy. The coupling of this aspiration to a perfusion-lavage in severe suppurative bacterial pneumopathies yielded interesting results.
The authors have developed a technique of sampling and analysis of capillary blood which they describe here. Applied to 34 patients, it gives excellent correlations, both for PO2-PCO2 and pH. The advantages of capillary methods and their disadvantages are discussed.
